Answer:

Radioactive isotopes ranging from 11O to 26O have also been characterized, all short-lived. The longest-lived radioisotope is 15O with a half-life of 122.24 seconds, while the shortest-lived isotope is 12O with a half-life of 580(30)×10−24 seconds (the half-life of the unbound 11O is still unknown).

What is generally the best approach when liquid from a large reagent bottle is needed in an experiment

Paul [167]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The best approach would be to <u>pour the liquid from the large reagent bottle into a small-size beaker or reagent bottle first</u>, before measuring the required quantity out into the reaction vessel. This is necessary in order to maintain safety in the laboratory.

Pouring the liquid directly from the large reagent bottle into the measuring cylinder or directly into the reaction bottle can compromise safety in the laboratory. The liquid might splash out and cause harm to the handler or create other harmful circumstances in the laboratory.

What is the average yearly rate of change of carbon-14 during the first 5000 years?

erica [24]

Answer:

The average yearly rate of change of carbon-14 during the first 5000 years = 0.0004538 grams per year

Explanation:

Given that the mass of the carbon 14 at the start = 5 gram

At the end of 5,000 years we will have;

$A = A_0 \times e^{-\lambda \times t}$

Where

A = The amount of carbon 14 left

A₀ = The starting amount of carbon 14

e = Constant = 2.71828

$T_{1/2}$ = The half life

$\lambda = 0.693/T_{1/2}$

t = The time elapsed = 5000 years

λ = 0.693/ $T_{1/2}$ = 0.693/5730 = 0.0001209424

Therefore;

A = 5 × e^(-0.0001209424×5000) = 2.7312 grams

Therefore, the amount of carbon 14 decayed in the 5000 years is the difference in mass between the starting amount and the amount left

The amount of carbon 14 decayed = 5 - 2.7312 = 2.2688 grams

The average yearly rate of change of carbon-14 during the first 5000 years is therefore;

2.2688 grams/(5000 years) = 0.0004538 grams per year

The average yearly rate of change of carbon-14 during the first 5000 years = 0.0004538 grams per year.
